Fixing element and apparatus for accommodating a fixing element

Abstract

A fixing element including a bolt with a first region with a first cross-section and a second region with a second cross-section is provided. The fixing element further includes a clamping wing with a first bearing surface, the clamping wing being arranged in the second region, and a transition point between the first and the second region, which is configured at least partially as a second bearing surface. The first and the second bearing surfaces are arranged opposite one another such that a first material part and a second material part are mounted between the first bearing surface and the second bearing surface by executing a rotary motion. The second bearing surface includes a first sliding part and a second sliding part, wherein, starting from an insertion position, a tension force increasing in the axial direction until a locking position is reached as a result of the rotary motion.

       17 . The fixing element as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein the second sliding part is configured for a positive connection on a second opposing surface of the second material part. 
   
   
       18 . The fixing element as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein the first region is configured with a groove for accommodating a latching lug. 
   
   
       19 . The fixing element as claimed in  claim 12 , wherein the first region is configured with a groove for accommodating a latching hug. 
   
   
       20 . The fixing element as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein a head region of the first region is configured to accommodate a tool to execute the rotary motion. 
   
   
       21 . The fixing element as claimed in  claim 12 , wherein a head region of the first region is configured to accommodate a tool to execute the rotary motion. 
   
   
       22 . The fixing element as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein a stop for restricting the rotary motion is arranged on the transition point. 
   
   
       23 . The fixing element as claimed in  claim 12 , wherein a stop for restricting the rotary motion is arranged on the transition point. 
   
   
       24 . An apparatus in a first material part for accommodating a fixing element, comprising:
 a cylindrical socket comprising an insertion opening and an outlet opening, the fixing element being inserted into the insertion opening and partially protruding beyond the outlet opening in order to use a second material part,   wherein a first opposing surface and a second opposing surface are arranged within the socket as opposing bearings for a positive connection of a first sliding part and a second sliding part, the opposing surfaces having the shape of a ramp.   
   
   
       25 . The apparatus as claimed in  claim 24 , wherein a flexible bar is formed in a socket wall of the socket by two longitudinal sections in parallel with a symmetry axis of the socket. 
   
   
       26 . The apparatus as claimed in  claim 25 , wherein the bar includes a latching lug. 
   
   
       27 . The apparatus as claimed in  claim 24 , wherein the socket is arranged inside a housing of an automation component for fixing to a profile rail.
